IRISH NATIONAL CONVENTION
PRESS OPINIONS. Electric Telegraph—Press Association. Copyright. London, Alay 22. The Times’ Dublin correspondent, dealing with the convention, says: “The general impression is that Mr Redmond recently made a gross political miscalculation, and has now tried to cover up his tracts. Alany Unionists fear that the Nationalists will seek to return to popularity on a wave of agrarian agitation.” “WANING” AUTHORITY.” The Times, emphasising the seriousness of the blow to the Government and to Mr Birrell, Secretary for Ireland, declares that the fate of the hill must further damage the already waning authority of the Government. Present feelings towards the Irish party will hardly dispose the Government to defer to the audacious demand to proceed with a series of highly contentious measures. LIBERAL PRESS. The Daily Chronicle declares that Mr Birrell’s hill is killed. The Daily News writes: “This is the end of devolution.” The Tribune says:—“The verdict is decisive and final.”
The Morning Post remarks flint the Liberals will gain little hv Mr Redmond’s giving them the choice between accepting Irish support on terms closely approximating intimidation, and sacrificing the flush vote.
